Erik Andersson

Erik Andersson is associate professor in sustainability science at Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, and one of the theme leaders for the global food systems and multifunctional landscapes/seascapes research. Erik is interested in how ecological conditions and processes together with governance and human perceptions and values shape multifunctionality and how we understand and appreciate nature. A centrepiece in this research is how landscape patterns and processes intersect with different social-ecological boundaries. While having limited experiences of agroforestry per se, Erik bring together experience and expertise from past research on multifunctional landscapes for production as well as recreation and conservation to ask questions about alternative future production landscapes, including the ones within and next to cities.
